TORONTO – This year’s SCTE Canadian Summit boasted significant increases in both attendance (up more than 17%) and vendors (nearly 75%) over last year’s figures.
In addition to a diverse program agenda, highlights included the designation of Arris’ Moxi whole home media gateway as the ‘technology most likely to be deployed’ in the inaugural Innovation Showcase; and a first-ever pre-conference ‘Frontliners Night’ that was designed to broaden the industry knowledge of customer-facing personnel. The conference closed with a session on the advantages of implementing ‘green’ technologies.
“The substantial growth in attendees and exhibitors indicates a real understanding that today’s technology and engineering solutions are critical to meeting the industry’s future business needs,” said Bruce Marshall, technical director at Shaw Hamilton and program chair for the Summit, in a statement. “We believe that the atmosphere of learning that was created by our presenters, our vendors, our program committee and our attendees will be instrumental in helping the industry to drive new services to subscribers.”
Details of the 2011 SCTE Canadian Summit will be announced shortly.
